For players to share the value generated by playing games they love
At Battlebound, we build games for players.

Battlebound aims to revolutionize how developers and players share in the rewards of the games they play a pivotal role in building.

REAL OWNERSHIP & UTILITY
The Evaverse is a Battlebound’s web3 multiplayer metaverse game. It’s built for players and NFT collectors to compete, play, and socialize in an immersive world. It’s live on PC/Mac, with a mobile release coming later this year.
Evaverse is an open platform for other NFT communities and IPs that otherwise couldn’t build a metaverse with solid and consistent game dynamics. We’ve partnered with several notable NFT collections to integrate playable avatars for their respective communities. We will continue to partner with projects and facilitate open integrations as the Evaverse expands.
